Walking Tour: Jewish neighborhood
Discover fascinating facts about the jewish community in Antwerp
Our guide will take you on a discovery tour through the neighborhood surrounding the central station. While walking through the diamond district and the small streets of the Jewish quarter, the guide will tell you more about the Antwerp Jews. First, you’ll learn how Antwerp’s Jewish community came into being. Then you’ll learn about the typical customs of the Jewish tradition, such as kosher food, Sabbath, and the mezuzah by the door. This tour passes Jewish bakeries, shops, and synagogues (we won’t go inside).
Book a private tour of the Jewish quarter
The best way to experience this fascinating district is with a private guide. We offer tailored tours for your group in English, French, German, or Dutch at a time that suits you.
You’ll meet your guide at De Keyserlei, at the side entrance of the Central Station. Our guide will wear a grey shoulder bag and a name tag. They will also hold a placard with the tour’s name. The tour ends at the starting point.
Public Scheduled Tours (⚠️ Dutch only)
Every second Sunday of the month at 2 pm, we host a public tour.
Please note that these specific sessions are conducted exclusively in Dutch for €19.50 per person.
